- Fix race where sched_class operations (sched_setscheduler() and friends)
could be invoked on dead tasks after sched_ext_dead() already ran, causing
invalid SCX task state transitions and NULL pointer dereferences. This was
a regression from the cgroup exit ordering fix which moved
sched_ext_free() to finish_task_switch().
